Feminism in game of thrones

I personally believe that in more recent seasons this show has been becoming more and more extreme in promoting feminism.

At first the show was not afraid to be politically incorrect with extreme depictions of violence. It also featured nudity. But at one point, they had Sansa raped, which had an extreme backlash from feminists.

As a result, feminist themes seemed to have been integrated to the show and the themes of sexual violence became further censored than they were before.

Daenerys Targaryen seems to display this trait. There's a Patriarchal barbaric tribe whom after kidnapping her and declaring they'd savagely rape her repeatedly for wanting a leadership role... she killed every major ruler in a fire and became worshipped by the tribe. She called them "small men who think of small things" if I'm not mistaken.

In a later episode Yara Greyjoy and she are talking in front of Theon. She asks, "Why doesn't your brother rule?" Theon responds, "I'm not fit to." "Has the Iron Islands ever had a queen before?" "No more than Westeros." The dialogue escalates. "We only need your help to kill an uncle or two who don't think a female is fit to rule." "Reasonable." They smile at each other. (season 6 episode 9)
